Mephisto Cobra Sandal : Keep Your Feet Happy

I'm fussy when it comes to shoes. They have to fit just right - no rubbing, pinching, or chafing. Finding sandals I like is even more difficult because there are so many places a sandal can rub my delicate, sockless feet wrong. In Mephisto's Cobra sandal, I've finally found a safe place for my feet.

The Cobras have 100% rubber soles that provide excellent traction on wet and dry surfaces, plus a special "shock absorber" cushioning system in the heels. Unlike too many floppy sandals, the Cobras are stable and firm enough to wear on almost any adventure. I like the contoured leather footbed--it gives me the arch (and metatarsal arch) support I need. While it feels quite firm, it rests on a layer of dense cushioning material.

I like the design of the Cobra, too, because it gives me a little bit more protection than my other sandals. With more material, my foot feels cradled in the sandals, so I can walk for miles without my sandals feeling too sloppy on my feet.

There are two adjustable straps (including a padded heel strap), and the Cobra has a serious sole for all terrains.

Bottom Line: Your feet will love you for these sandals. They're comfortable, durable, and look great with shorts or pants. Available in men's and women's sizes and styles. The Cobra sandal is part of Mephisto's ALLROUNDER line of footwear. Colors: brown or black. E. D. (August '05)
